SuperMe Raises 20 Million to Clone Silicon Valley Experts into AI Group Chats

When people face career hurdles, they usually tap their personal network for advice. SuperMe wants to replace that search with a group chat of artificial intelligence profiles built from the knowledge of real-life experts. Founded in 2024 by Casey Winters and Ludo Antonov, the startup announced a funding round of 20 million dollars led by Forerunner with participation from Greylock Partners.

The platform lets users type in questions and automatically assembles a panel of digital expert clones to collaborate on answers. Pitch decks can be fed into chats featuring the AI profiles of venture capitalists like Mercedes Bent, Sarah Tavel, and Josh Elman. To build these digital minds, the platform scans public channels like YouTube and Substack alongside private connected apps such as Google Drive and Notion.

SuperMe handles personal information and trade secrets by keeping them out of the generated answers, though the current free model will soon introduce question limits and paid tiers. Our read is that cloning elite advisors into scalable software bridges the gap between exclusive Silicon Valley networks and everyday founders, provided the platform can figure out how to keep human experts incentivized to share.

The 13-person startup is currently hiring to improve conversational models and expand its subject coverage while integrating with outside tools via the Model Context Protocol.
